Overview & Reviews

Changes are minor on the 2007 Ford Escape. There's a new Silver Appearance Package that provides a variety of silver metallic exterior accents. Besides that, the XLT Sport model switches from two-tone to monochromatic exterior paint and keypad entry is standard on XLT Sport and Limited models. Finally, Ford has increased its powertrain warranty coverage to five years/60,000 miles for all '07 models.

• Comfortable seating front and rear, ample cargo capacity, handsome styling.

• So-so acceleration with either engine, disappointing fuel economy with V6, choppy ride quality, no stability control.

  Who says Americans cant build a car? - 2007 Ford Escape
  By Mark - May 4 - 2:32 pm

  I am a big guy and I fit in the front and rear just fine. Lots of legroom in the back! This "small" SUV is fun to drive, good looking and versatile. If you feed it premium gas, it will grow up to be an Explorer!

  Still doing well - 2007 Ford Escape
  By Mike - April 11 - 9:54 pm

  I had an 06 Escape and loved it. Traded for a Mustang and recently traded back to an Escape. Great visibility and comfort. Gas mileage on the 06 was at 24 and hope to do as well on the 07. Lots of interior room with great storeage behind the back seat. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a SUV that does not need the third seat.Glad I went back to the Escape.

  Very Pleased - 2007 Ford Escape
  By robocop - April 10 - 10:57 pm

  Purchased for 19,500 with 6 CD, Sunroof and Tow. With 700 miles Im getting 20 mpg with 50/50 city/hwy. 4WD on snow packed country roads (a lot of hills) is great. Handling on the hwy in snow, rain or dry pavement is excellent. Fold flat rear seats and rear cargo size allow me to take my 2 Dobermans on long trips with everyone being comfortable. I shopped and test drove many other SUVs in this size and I made the right choice with the Escape. No rattles, shakes or shimys.

  Still satisfied - 2007 Ford Escape
  By Brad - April 6 - 9:34 pm

  I just traded my 2005 Escape for the 2007 model (XLT 3.0 V-6). I was very satisfied with the 2005 model experiencing no problems whatsoever. Not much has changed with the 2007. Solid ride and nice seating position. The upgraded Audiophile radio is awesome. Fuel mileage averages around 20-21mpg (mixed highway and city). A good, solid all around vehicle.

  Quality and worth the money - 2007 Ford Escape
  By Phil - February 23 - 2:17 pm

  I talked my wife into buying the Escape XLS 4x4. We felt it the car would be nice as a future family car. My parents own 2002 Ford Escape XLS and have been quite pleased. So far, its been a dream driving, performing well in snow, wind and sleet. Great purchase below $20K, we even able to talk the saleswoman into installing fog lights at no additional charge. This vehicle will perform great anywhere in the country.

  Pleasant Surprise - 2007 Ford Escape
  By Shane - January 18 - 5:16 pm

  I recently donate my car (98 Old Intrigue w/ 250,000 miles) and traded in a F-150 for my new Escape. It is the perfect compliment of the two vehicles. The ride is a lot better then what I expected from this vehicle. And it has seemed to handle the snow and ice well in these wonderfully short MN and ND winters. Im averaging 24.6 (through the first 4,100 miles) MPG with the V6 which has been the most pleasant surprise.

  Excellent Value For Your Money - 2007 Ford Escape
  By vsinger - January 16 - 9:58 pm

  Bought vehicle with zero miles, drove through 2007 New Years Day weekend blizzard in New Mexico after putting on only about 500 miles - 2WD (front wheel drive) awesome in snow - went through over 50 miles of 6 - 12" deep snow with few or no problems. Nice ground clearance for small SUV. Lots of interior space - just slightly shorter than an Explorer, but same height and width. Unitized construction keeps weight down, allows 4-cylinder engine to do adequate job of propelling vehicle while returning about 25 MPG - and its not even fully broken in yet! Nice, big (about 20 gallon) gas tank means more miles between fill-ups. Comfortable, easy to drive on long trips, supportive, firm seats.

  Solid Performer - 2007 Ford Escape
  By Steve P - January 10 - 12:54 pm

  This is my 2nd Escape. The 04 XLT FWD was good reliable transportation with just a little dose of fun factor included. The LTD adds the MACH sound system which is much better than the standard unit, as well as AWD which I can appreciate as a boat towing kind of guy. Using the old XLT FWD for towing my 3300lb boat was sometimes trouble coming out of the water. The AWD easily gets around any wheel slippage. Getting about 18mpg but drive it fairly hard and at least half the miles are city. Our family highly recommends this vehicle as a good fit between a CUV and any of its much larger politically incorrect cousins.

  Womens SUV - 2007 Ford Escape
  By BRENDAN - January 3 - 1:29 pm

  This vehicle is the second one which I have owned. The 1st one being a 2003 Escape XLT. This in itself speaks about my overall satisfaction with the vehicle. I call it a womens SUV mainly because of its smaller size. It handles as good as or better than a car and its usefulness far surpasses any car. I have traveled across Canada with this vehicle fully loaded with belongings and with an 18 cu.ft. luggage carrier on the roof rack and did it quite comfortably. The handling is exceptional in all weather and conditions.

  The Sanders experience - 2007 Ford Escape
